PS Marion

Mannum is where the PS Marion is docked. It is one of the oldest paddle steamers and surprisely is still in use but only on special occasions.

This is the motor from one of the paddle steamers.

In 2001 there was an event and they got many of the skippers of the boats and the boats as well and they came down the Murray. It took 100 days and there was a short film about it and also the restoration of many of the boats.

We are going for a lunch cruise of this steamer on Tuesday from Murray Bridge.We couldnt get on a boat at Mannum so this is it. We drove down today to see where we could park two caravans while we are on the water.
